Stitch Nerd Custom Shop is my new website where you can order customized tailor’s pressing hams and seam rolls.
Have something made for you, a friend, or any sewist you know would appreciate a personalized, and very useful sewing gift.
Why buy used, vintage, stained, or maybe even smelly pressing aids when you can have fresh, clean, brand new, and fabulous?
I stock many fun fabric choices so click on the link above or on the photo so you can see for yourself. OR scan my code!

I have a Wizard with that same Model #. This years later, but any chance you still have that manual?
Is there any chance I could get a copy of the Brother Zigzag ZJ2-B431?
I would LOVE to have a copy and would appreciate it SO much.
This was my mother’s machine, now mine. Dad bought in Japan. Would love to have the manual.
Hello! I have been searching for instructions in English! My mother’s manual is in Japanese (it’s called an “Automatic Zigzag” ZJ2-B431 but looks just like the teal Select-o-matic.)
I am stumbling through the manual AND learning to sew, so, English instructions would be VERY much appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi Kathy,
Me too me too! If you’re able to forward a copy of the Brother HZ3-B1 manual I would really appreciate it. I just found a “Select-o-matic” in my local thrift store (lucky me!) and was thrilled to discover its in working condition. The bobbin tension is a little too tight though and I don’t have the foggiest idea how to fix it.
Thank you so much for your generosity, I didn’t realize the manual would be this difficult to find!

Hi Cathy,
Could you please send me a copy of the Brother HZ3-B1.
If I can be of any assistance please let me know.
You have an open invitation to dinner in Greece, if you ever visit the country!
By the way this is where I live.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Kathy,
I would dearly love to have the pdf copy of the Brother Select-o-matic manual if you are still willing to share! I got a beautiful one as an heirloom and am trying to get it going. It’s in great shape, just needs some technical input. Thank you!

Hi Kathy,
I just recently aquired a Brother sewing machine model number HZ3-B1. If the Pdf manual is still available, I would greatly appreciate one.
Thank you kindly,

I just bought a HZ3-B1 for my wife. If you still have the PDF I would be grateful for a copy. Seems like an incredible machine!
Hi Linda,
